Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UCF is growing by leaps and bounds. The students love to hang out, and they all know how to have a good time. There’s so much to do and there’s something for everyone. Do you really need any more reasons to go to college in Florida?

Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn’t to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit. Come join us!

Not Really Sure

Getting fiancial aid is very simple. Simply go to the FASA website and fill out the information. The disbursement process is quicker than other schools as well. And the amount I recieve is much higher than at the community college I went to before transfering. However, I'm not sure how summer works and it has me very worried if I will be taking any summer classes.

Way Down Town

The school is located way down, where it's a 30 minute drive from where I live. Going during the day is alright, but coming home at night is a nightmare! They have a lot of security risks on the campus with a lot of notifications going out. It seems like it's in a good neighborhood, but the crime rate is right up there because the students live on campus.

Languages

The language program at UCF is fairly straight forward. The only tests required to get into a language major is if you want to get into a 3000 level course right away. Otherwise, you can just start from the very basics and work your way up with no problems.
